Longer than that. I remember signing the first petition around 2006 or something like that


It all began with the unincorporated area wanting their own ISD because they didn't want their only options to be: (1) public ed in the shitty EBR school system, or (2) expensive private school tuition. Central and Zachary had done it. So why not "St. George". The city, mayor, and everyone told those in the area to "f-off. Go form your own city and MAYBE we will talk." So they did...with BR fighting it every single step of the way.

ALL they had to do so long ago was allow St. George to have it's own school system. But that meant the money would stop flowing into the the black hole that is the EBR school system. So here we are. Not only may the area now get its own school system, but its own damn city.

Now they can potentially set up their own schools and control their own police department.

I think the governor appoints some members of the first city government but they’ll probably have an election for all that very soon.
